Storm Damage in Middle Tennessee: What to Do Before You Call Insurance
Storms in Middle Tennessee can leave behind more than just puddles and broken limbs. High
winds, hail, and falling trees can seriously damage your roof, siding, or structure. Before you call
your insurance company, here are the steps you should take to protect your property and speed
up your claim.
1. Check for Safety First:
Before you inspect anything, make sure your home is safe to enter. Stay away from downed
power lines, unstable structures, and water-damaged wiring.
2. Document the Damage:
Take wide shots and close-up photos of all visible damage, including roof shingles, broken
windows, siding, and fallen trees. This documentation will help during your claim and can protect
you if the insurance company disputes anything.
3. Prevent Further Damage:
If your roof is leaking or part of your home is exposed, call a professional for emergency tarping
or boarding up. At ListWorthy LLC, we offer same-day emergency response to help keep your
home dry and secure.
4. Call ListWorthy First:

scope of the damage and explain your options. You always have the right to choose your own

verification if requested. We’re here to make the recovery process easier.
